[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Welcome! Looking forward to in-depth coverage again![/quote]

When did they ever have in depth coverage?  [/quote]

NP but the education coverage was great when Caitlynn was there. Coverage has been much lighter since her departure. I'm excited to see how Em builds the coverage back up.[/quote]

“Great” would be an overstatement. If you wanted to read summaries of MCPS announcements, press releases, and Board meetings, then she did a thorough job. But she was almost never willing to question the narrative of her sources at MCPS and MCEA, presumably because she was worried they’d stop talking to her if she wasn’t supporting their message. She effectively acted as an arm of the MCPS communications office.[/quote]
My recent grad found her quite good. They had many conversations where concerns made it into print.[/quote]

Because your child got his name in the paper you consider that good reporting?  Want a list of all the stories she didn't cover and all the people she refused to talk to?[/quote]
